I installed the garmin express app on my laptop. It notifies me when an update is available. By plugging my garmin portable gps into my laptop, the app then walks me through the update process. The initial product update right after new purchase took 40 minutes. I've got fast internet so the time was for waiting on the garmin site and installing. I had gone through this process before with older purchases so even though there was no screen activity for a good chunk of time, I knew just to leave the device attached and let it finish. It did. New Products tend to come with 'free lifetime map updates'. Check to make sure this is the case at the time of purchase. An update usually happens every 3 or 4 months.
